Calculate volume of a cylinder

and its lateral, base and total surface areas

What is a cylinder? Cylindrical Surface is a curved surface generated by parallel duplication of a line. Right Circular Cylinder is a a three-dimensional solid bounded by a cylindrical surface and by two parallel circular bases (radius r) cut out from two parallel planes by the cylindrical surface. In addition the Right Circular Cylinder apothems (of length h) are perpendicular to the plane of a base circle. The selection of measurement Unit is optional.

Calculation Formulas

Cubic VolumeV = π×r²×h = π×D²×h ⁄ 4

Surface to volume ratioSA÷V = 2 × (R + h) ⁄ (R × h)

Surface Area (SA), TotalS = 2×π×r×(r+h)

Surface Area (SA), LateralM = 2×π×r×h

Surface Area (SA), BaseB = π×r²

DiameterD = 2×r

Radiusr = D ⁄ 2

Base Perimeterp = 2×π×r

About this Volume Calculator

In addition to calculating volume of a cylinder, this page calculates total, lateral and base surface areas and surface to volume ratio of a cylinder as well, providing calculation results in numerous measurement units, showing the referenced calculation formulas and computing weight, force and pressure of fresh and sea water based on the cylinder's volume, and lastly, this page provides links to volume to weight calculators for common substances, materials and food ingredients based on their densities and the cylinder volume.
